Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0790429A1] The brake has a braking rotor rotationally fixed but axially movable wrt. the axle to be braked and arranged between a fixed thrust block and an armature plate. A coil spring acts upon the armature plate towards the rotor. The armature plate can be drawn towards a magnetic part against the spring force when the magnetic part is supplied with a super excitation current. With the armature plate in contact with the magnetic part it is supplied with a reduced holding current. With the plate not in contact the magnetic part is supplied with a stimulation current to partially compensate for the spring force. A non-magnetic distance element (9) between the armature plate (1) and magnetic part (7) puts the armature plate working region in the flat section of the magnetic force characteristic.
